Fantastic!

STILL not the tires the Huayra wore for its Power Lap.

Which is more embarrassing: The fact that within a 15 second web search I was able to determine that the PZero Trofeo tread doesn't come close to resembling the tread that was on the Power Lap tires, or the fact that the PZero Trofeo isn't available in either size 265/645-19 or 325/705-20?

Swing and a miss.

Apparently there are different versions of those tires.. If you do a google search you will see many different treading patterns..
Among them the ones I posted

Dude, I'm on Pirelli's WEBSITE. Can you provide me with a link to PZero "anything" within the current product range with tread that resembles the Power Lap tires? I'm having difficulty. In particular because Pagani told me what to look for.

More pictures of what seems to be the same pattern but minus the holes for wear (which could be added by Pirelli to monitor the tyre as pagani is a developing partner)




Word is still out on the sizing designation.. Lets see what pagani says.

Yes, I came across that particular tire before, in fact the same exact photo as your first attachment was posted here last week. As far as we were able to determine, that's not a current offering from Pirelli. In fact it could be as old as 2009, which nearly eliminates the possibility it was developed by Pirelli specifically for the Huayra.

What makes you so sure that a new tyre that they developed for the huayra with their developing partner pagani has been added to the web site?

I think it's time for some reflection against our own claims a this point.

It seems like the tire was NOT hand cut as the same pattern existed on previous road legal pirellis.

Now I'm not saying those tires are street legal as their are question marks around the holes and the size.
The holes can be explained as I did above so it's only the sizing that remains uncertain.

But I think we can put the pattern part of this scandal to rest now can't we ?

And posing a question.. Being on a small screen with crap connection I'm not able to analyze the pictures.
But yes I also noticed the lack of wear bars.

Ps
Pagani has been asked about the sizing designations.. Answer is pending
You're right, that was rude, I'm sorry.

Are you serious? The holes cannot be explained as you did above. The pattern part to rest? Seriously?
